Here are some of the tips we recommend for carpet maintenance:


Vacuum regularly.
This is the most basic and essential step for keeping your carpet clean and preventing dust buildup. Vacuum at least once a week, or more often if you have pets or high-traffic areas. Use a vacuum cleaner with a rotating brush or beater bar to loosen and remove dirt from the carpet fibers.

Spot clean spills and stains.
Accidents happen, but you don't have to let them ruin your carpet. As soon as you notice a spill or stain, blot it with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb as much liquid as possible. Then use a mild carpet cleaner or a solution of water and vinegar to gently dab the affected area. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing, as this can spread the stain or damage the carpet fibers.

Deep clean periodically.
Vacuuming and spot cleaning are not enough to remove all the dirt and odors from your carpet. You should also deep clean your carpet at least once a year, or more often if you have pets or allergies. You can hire a professional carpet cleaning service or rent a steam cleaner and do it yourself. Deep cleaning will remove deep-seated dirt, bacteria, and allergens from your carpet and restore its freshness and beauty.

Protect your carpet from damage.
There are some simple ways to prevent your carpet from getting damaged by furniture, shoes, or pets. You can use furniture pads or coasters to avoid denting or crushing the carpet fibers under heavy furniture. You can also place rugs or mats in entryways and high-traffic areas to protect your carpet from dirt and wear. And you can trim your pet's nails and train them not to scratch or chew on your carpet.

By following these tips, you can keep your carpet looking great and lasting longer. And if you need any help with your carpet needs, don't hesitate to contact us at Simply Floors Inc. We are your trusted flooring partner in the Denver area.
